Well that thought has crossed my mind for the film options as well as other reasons but with a 1 bedroom running at what - $800? I'll have to choose to not be homeless and live in a cheaper part of the prov. - unless of course you're looking to be a non-sexual sugardaddy . Till then I'll have to remain content to live 90-120 (depending on traffic) from the centre of the universe and renting the good movies when they hit disc (when on when will A Low Dirty Shame be released...)

Sorry to disappoint you NG but in Toronto a half decent 1 bedroom will set you back about $ 1,000.00 plus phone and cable. You could probably get one for $ 800.00 but they are extremely rare and decent ones are even more rare.

If this goes through $9.95 admission will be history:


Cineplex Says Would Consider Famous Players Buy



TORONTO (Reuters) - Cineplex Galaxy Limited Partnership, Canada's No. 2 movie theater chain, said on Monday it would consider buying larger rival Famous Players, which is being shopped around by U.S. parent Viacom Inc. .

It might be good for me since Cineplex is the only chain that shows movies I'd pay to see and FP is the theatre that's closest to me (within a couple blocks) but I'd be shocked if the competition bureau would let this through without another company like AMC taking a chunk of them to provide competition within an area (i.e. if this did happen 4 of the 5 in my area would be FP/Cineplex and the other is a dumpie discount theatre).

Hey fellow Fishies

I've been a regular to the bowl for a few years now, finally got around to joining and posting.

I was really interested in this particular post as I work for one of the bigger movie chains mentioned (just an average worker in the office...nothing special)
Anyways I sent your comments over to my boss ( and they subsequently sent it to their boss) and they thought it was great to see what people were saying about the company. I have no doubt they'll take everything into some consideration (even if it doesn't make BIG change)

So thank you all - even fishies can make differences and no matter what movie chain you go to - ENJOY! I love love love the movies

Anyone wanna bet we see a return to the old Famous Player's pricing structure in the next couple of weeks? Say in time for Star Wars and the rest of the big summer flicks...

They did say it was for a limited time only, but perhaps it really has been more profitable for them. Only time will tell, but in the meantime lay your bets...

(I'd take 2-1 that it will rise.)

Happily, I was wrong. Today's entertainment papers have an Famous Players ad with "Extended!" in large font letters across the $9.95 price.



(So it looks like I lost my bet, but I'll make it up in admission savings...)
